Official Paper of City, Comity, ami the
United States.
RSPUBLICAH TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
ULYSSES S. GHRNT.
FOR VICE-PRI2SIDENT,
HENRY WILSON.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NEMAHA CO.
We are urged by many friends to
make an effort to extend the circula
tion of the Advertiser. They kind
ly represent that our paper is, in eve
ry respect, worthyof the support of
the people of the county, generally,
and that it has especial claims upon
those of them who are Republicans.
These representations are earnestly
made, and, wo believe, they are true,
but we have no reason to complain of
the patronage we now receive. It is
true, also, however, that thero are hun
dreds of persons in the county who
ought, for their own benefit, to be
readers of the Advertiser, who do
not now get it. Considering this fact
and desiring to make our paper as
widely useful as possible, we adopt
the advice of our friends, and offer
the Advertiser at the following club
rates :
20 Copies, one year. - - 30
15 a ( i - 24r
lO " if . 17
5 ti (i n - - y
Single Coi1ch for the Campaign, 50 ct
An extra copy for one year, will be
given to each person who gets up one
of tbese clubs.
We make these as business proposi
tions, expecting to advance our own
interests by them, and believing the
Advertiser to be well worth the mo
ney e.ask for it. On this point we
court.'investigation. If, when fairly
judged, it is not up to the require
ments of the times, as a weekly news
paper, in selections, news, local inter
ests, and Republican politics, we ask
no man to take it.
While wo would be glad, Indeed, to
have three or four thousand subscrib
ers for the Advertiser, we are not
begging for them. That circulation
would be very pleasant and profitable
to us, but we must be allowed to in
sist that it would.be no less pleasant
and profitable to our. readers. We
shall receive these club subscriptions
very thankfully, and we shall also en
deavour to deserve them.

DO THEY 3IISS ME AT HOME 1
MY CHAIILES S173IXKB A5D CAKL BREST.
Do my partj- friends miss me, I wonder?
I know It would comfort mesomo
To feel that my last clap of thunder
Had made them all wish I was dumb.
To know that they mourned my defection,
And wanted me back In the fold,
Would be .such u sweet recollection
wueu x necome childish and old.
There's Davis and Palmer and Trumbull,
Who left, with none to sav nay,
The party made never a stumble.
Rut went right along oa its way.
From Sehurz and Gratz Rrowu and old
jUireelcy
The part j- is Anally free;
The snip Is still lloatliiK; but, really.
How can it get on without ME?
The colored man, surely, will miss me,
jsecause im in neau oi nts cnurcn :
I know it would greatly distress mo to
To lind myself leftin the lurch.
. The whites and the blacks at my leaving
Were struck with a terrible jar.
And over my loss they are grieving;
Rut why don't they say that they aro ?
The party, I thought, would be hollow,
When Sumner, its brain, was removed :
I believed that the black men would follow
The leader they always had loved.
But the party is living and kicking;
The colored men with it aree;
And this question my conscience is pricking:
How can they get on without ME?'
I think of my Beat In the Senate.
Antl wonder, and sometimes I grieve,
Can it be that the State will put in it
Another, and Sumner must leave?
I declare I um quite broken-hearted.
To think they dyt't miss me at all ;
I wish I had never "doparted,"
Nor given my pride such a fall.
LAUGHING IN MEETING.
RY MRS. II. R. STOWE.
We were In disgrace, wo boys, and
the reason of it was this : we had
laughed out in meeting time ! To be
sure the occasion was a trying one,
even to more disciplined nerves. Par
son Lathrop had exchanged pulpits
with Parson Summeral, of North
Warren. Now, Parson Summeral
was a man in the very outset likely to
provoke the risibles of unspiritualized
juveniles. He was a thin, wiry, frisky
little man, In a powdered white wig,
black tights and silk stockings, with
bright knee buckles and shoo buckles,
with round, snapping eyes, and a cu
rious, high, cracked, squeaking voice,
the very first tones of which made
all the children stare and giggle. The
news that Parson Summeral was go
ing to preach in our village spread
abroad among us as a prelude of some
thing funny. It had a flavor like the
charm of circus acting; and on the
Sunday morning of our story we went
to the house of (Jod in a very hilari
ous state, all ready to set off in a
laugh on the slightest provocation.
The occasion was not long waiting.
Parson Lathrop had a favorite dog
yclept Trip, whose behavior in meet
ing was notoriously far from that ed
ifying pattern which befitsa minister's
dog on Sunday. Trip was a nervous
dog, and a dog that could never be
taught to control his emotions or to
respect conventionalities. If any
thing about the performance in the
singer's seat did not please him, he
was apt to express himself in a lugu
brious howl, if the sermon was lon
ger than suited him, he would gape
with such a loud crack of his jaws as
would arouse everybody's attention.
If the Hies disturbed his afternoon's
nap. ho would give sudden snarls or
snaps ; or if anything troubled his
dreams, he would bark out in his
sleep iu a manner not only to dispel
his own slumbers, but those of certain
worthy deacons and old ladies, whoso
sanctuary repose was broken and
troubled. For all these reasons, Mad
am Lothrophad been forced, as a gen
eral thing, to deny Trip the usual
sanctuary privileges of good family
dogs in that age, and shut him up on
Sundays to private meditation. Trip,
of course, was the more set on attend
ance, and would hide behind doors,
jump out of windows, sneak through
byways and alleys, and lie hid till the
second bell had done tolling, when
suddenly he would appear in the
broad afsle, innocent and happy, and
take his seat as composedly as any
member of the congregation.
Imagine us youngsters on the qui
viva with excitement at seeing Parson
Summeral frisk up into the pulpit
with all the vivacity of a black grass
hopper. We looked at each Ather
and giggled ver cautiously, with due
respect to Aunt Lois' sharp observa
tion. At first, there was only a mild, qui
et simmering of gitfjjle, compressed
very decorously within the bounds of
propriety, and we pursed our muscles
up with stringent resolution whenev
er we caught the apprehensive eye of
our elders.
Rut when directly after the closing
notes ot tolling eeconu bell Master
Trip walked gravely up the front
aisle, and seated himself squarely in
front of tho pulpit, raised his nose
with a critical air toward the scene of
the forthcoming performance, it was
too much for us the repression was
almost convulsive. Trip wore an alert,
attentive air, befitting a sound, ortho
dox dog, who smells a possible heresy,
and deems it his duty to watch the
performance narrowly.
Evidently he felt called upon to see
who anil what were to occupy that
pulpit in his master's absence.
Up rose Parson Summeral, and up
went Trip's nose, vibrating with in
tense attention.
Tho parson began in his hish-crack-ed
voice, to intone the hymn :
"Sing to the Lord aloud,"
when Trip broke in with a dismal
howl.
The parson went on to give direc
tions to the deacon in the same voice
in which he had been reading, so that
the whole efiect ot the performance
was somewhat as follows :
"Sing to the Lord aloud,"
("Please to turn out that dog")
"And make a Joyful noise."
The dog was turned out, and the
choir did their best to make a joyful
noise, but we boys were upset for the
day, delivered over to the temptations
of Satau, and plunged in waves and
billows of hysterical giggle, from
which neither winks nor frowns from
Aunt Lois, nor the awful-fear of the
tithing man, nor the comforting bits
of fennel and orange peel passed us by
grandmother, could recovc- us.
Everybody felt, to besurj, that here
was a trial that called for some indul
gence. Hard faces, even among the
very stoniest saints, betraved a tran
sient quiver of the muscles ; old ladies
put up their fans, youths and maidens
in the singer's seat laughed outright,
and for a moment a general snicker
among the children was pardoned.
But I was one of the luckless kind,
whose nerves or.ee set in vibration,
could not be composed. When the
reign of gravity and decorum had re
turned, Harry and I sat by each oth
er, shaking with suppressed laughter.
Everything in the subsequent exer
cises took a funny turn, and the lone:
prayer, when everybody else wasaiu!
aud decorous, tho whole scone come
over me with such overpowering force
that I exploded with laughter aud
had to be taken, out of meeting and
marched home by Aunt Lois as a con
victed criminal. What especially
moved her indignation was that the
more she rebuked and upbraided, the
more Jaugneu, till tue tears ronea
down my cheeks,, which Aunt Lois
construed into wilful disrespect to her
authority, and resented accordingly.
By Sunday evening, as we gathered
around the fire, the reaction from un
due gayety tosobriety had taken place,
and we were in a pensive and patient
state. Grandmother was gracious and
forgiving, but Aunt Lois still pre
served that frosty air of reprobation
which she held to be a salutary
means of quickening our consciences
ior tne luturo. it was, inereiore, wmi
unusual delight that we saw our old
friend Sam come in and seat himself
quietly down on the block in the
chimney corner. With Sam we felt
assured of indulgence and patronage,
for though always rigidly moral and
instructive in his turn of mind, ho
had that fellow-feeling for transgress
ors which is characteristic of the loose
jointed, easy-going stylo of his indi
vidual it y.
"Lordy massy, boy, vis," said Sam
virtuously, in view of some of Aunt
Lois' thrusts; "ye ought never to
Jaugh or cut up in meetin' that are's
so ; but then there is times when the
best of us gits took down. We gits
took unawares, ye see even ministers
does. Yis, natur will git the upper
hand afore they know it."
"Why, Sam, ministers don't ever
laugh in meeting, do they?"
We put the question with wide eyes.
Such a supposition bordered on pro
fanity, we thought; it was approach
ing the sin of Uzzah, who unwarily
touched the ark of the Lord.
"Laws, yis ! Why, haven't you
never heard how there was a council
held to try Parson Morrel for laugh
ing out in prayer time?"
"Laughing in pnryor time!" we
both repeated, with uplifted hands
and eyes.
My grandfather's mild face became
luminous with a suppressed smile,
which brightened it as the moon doos
a cloud, but lie said nothing.
"Yes, yes," said mj- grandmother,
"that affair did make a dreadful scan
dal in the time ou't. Rut Parson
Morrel was a irood man. and I'm glad
the council wasn't hard on him."

all, it was more Ike Babbitt's fault
than 'twas anybody's. Ye see, Ike he
was allers for gettin' what he could
out o' the town, and he would feed
his sheep on the meetin' house green.
Somehow or other, Ike's fences allers
contrived to give out, come Sunday,
and up would come his sheep, and Ike
was too pious to drive 'em back Sun
day, so there they was. He was talk
ed to enough about it, cause, ye see,
to have sheep and lambs a b-a-in' and
a blatin' all prayer and sermon time
waru't the thing. 'Member that are
old meetin' house up to the north end,
down under Blueberry Hill? The
land sort o' sloped down, so as a body
had to eomo into the meetia' house
steppin' down instead o' up.
"Fact was, they said 'twas put there
;cause the land waru't good for noth
in' else, and the folks thought puttin'
a meetin' house on't would be a clear
savin' ; but Parson Morrel ho didn't
like it, and was free to tell them his
mind on't that 'twas like bringin'
the lame and the blind to the Lord's
sarvice ; but there 'twas.
"There warn't a better minister nor
no one more set by in all tho State
than Parson Morrel. His doctrines
was right up and down good and
sharp, and he gave saints and sinners
their meet in due season ; and for con
solin' and comfortin' widders and or
phans Parson Morrel hadn't his
match. The women sot lots by him,
and he was alius ready to take tea
round, and made things pleasant aud
comfortable ; and he had a good story
for every one, and a word for the chil
dren, and may be an apple or a cook
ey in his pocket for 'em. Wal, you
know thero ain't no pleasin' every
body, and if Gabriel himself, right
down out o' heaven, was to come and
be a minister, I expect there'd be a
pickin' at his wings and a sorto' fault-
lindiir. INow, Auut Jerusha Scran
and Aunt Polly Aokun they said Par
son Morrel warn't solemn enough.
Ye sec there's them that thinks that
a minister ought to be just like the
town hearse, so thatye think of death,
judgment and eternity, and nothing
else, when ye see him round; and if
they see a man rosy and chipper, and
hain' a pretty nice sociable sort of a
time, why they say he ain't spiritual
minded. But in my times I've seen
milliliters of the most awakenin' kind
in the pulpit that was the liveliest
when they was out on't. There is a
time to laugh, scripture says, though
some folks never seem to remember
that are."
"But, Sam, how came vou to say it
was Ike Babbitt'sfault? "What was it
about the sheep?"
"Oh, wal, yis I'm a comin' to that
are. It was all about them sheep. I
expect they was the instrument the
devil sot to work to tempt Parson
Morrel to laugh in prayer time,
"Ye see, there was old Dick, Ike's
bell-weather, was the frightin'est crit
ter that ever yer see. Why, Dick
would butt at his own shudder, and
everybody said ic waa a shame the old
critter should bo left to run loose,
'cause he run at the children and
scared the women half out of their
wits. Wal, I used to live out in that
parish in them days, and Lem Sadoc
and I used to go sparkin' Sanday
nights to see theLarkin gals and we
had to go right across the lot where
Dick was so we used to go and stand
at tne lence ana call, and Dick would
see us and put down nis head and run
at us full chisel, and come bunt
agin the fence, and then I'd catch bim
by the horns and hold him, while
Lem would run run and get over the
fence t'other side the lot, and then
I'd let go aud Lem would holler and
shake a stick at him, and away he'd
go full butt at Lem, and Lem would
ketch his horns and hold him
till I came over that was the wav we
managed Dick but el' he come 'sud
den up behind a feller he'd give him
a butt in the small of his back that
would make him run on all fours one
while he was a great rogue, Dick
was. Wal, that summer I remember
they had old Deacon Titkins for tith
ing man, ana i tell you he give it to
the boys lively. There warn't no
sleepiu' nor no playin', for the deacon
had eyes like agimblet, and he was 115
quick as a eat, aud the youngsters had
to look out for themselves. It did
really seem as if the deacon was like
them four beasts in the Revelations
that was full of eyes behind and be
fore, for whichever way he was stan
din' if you gave only a wink he was
down on you and hit you a tap with
his stick. I know once Lem Sodoc
jist wrote two words in the psalm
Dooic ana pnsseu it to ivesiah Larkin,
j and the deacon give him such a tap
that Lem grew red as a beet and vow
ed he'd be up with him some day for
that.
"Well, lordy massy, folks that is so
chipper and high-steppin' has to have
their come downs, and the deacon he
had to have his.
"That are Sunday I remember it
now justas well as if it was yesterday
the parson he give us his great ser
mon, reconcilin' decrees and free
agency. Everybody said that are ser
mon was a master-piece. He preach
ed it up at Cambridge at commence
ment, but it so happened it was oneo'
them bilin' hot days that come in Au
gust, when you can fairly hear the
huckleberries a sizzin' and cookin' on
the bushes, and the locust keeps a
gratin' Hike a red-hot saw. Wal,
such times, decrees or no decrees, the
best on us will get sleepy. The old
meetin' house stood right down at the
foot of a hill that kept off all the
wind, aud the sun blazed away at
them great west winders, and there
was pretty sleepy times there. Wal,
the deacon he llew round a spell, and
woke up the children, and tapped tho
boys on the head, aud kept every
thing straight as he could till tho ser
mon was most through, when heraily
got most tuckered out, and he took a
chair and he sot down in the door
right opposite the minister aud fairly
got asleep himself, just as the minis
ter got up to make tho last prayer.
"Wal, Parson Morrel had a way o'
prayiu with his eyes open. Folks
said it wasn't the best way, but it was
Parson Morrel's way anyhow ; and so
as ho was praviu' he couldn't help
seeiu that Deacon Titkins was a nod-
in1 aud a bobbin' out toward the place
where old Dick was feedin' with the
sheep, front o' tho meetin' house.
"Lem and me wo was sittin' where
we could look out, and wo jest see old
Dick stop feedin' and look at tho dea
con. The deacon had a little round
head, as smooth as an apple, with a
nice powdered wig on it, and sot
there makiug bobs and bows, and
Dick began to think it was suthin'
sorto' pussonal. Lem and me was
sittin jest where we could look out
and see the hull picter, and Lem was
fit to split.
"Good now," says he, "that crit
ter'll pay tho deacon off lively, pret
ty soon."
"Tho deacon bobbed his head a
spell, and old Dick ho shook his
horns at him sort o' threatenin'. Fi
nally the deacon ho give a great bow
and brought his head right down at
him, and old Dick lie sot out full tilt
and come down on him kerchunk,
and knocked him head over heels in
to tho broad aisle, and his wig flew
one way and he t'other ; and Dick
made a lunge at it as it ilew aud car
ried it off on his horns.
"Wal, you may believe that broke
up the meetin' for one while, for Par
sou Morrel laughed out, and all the
gals and boys they stomped and roar
ed, and the old deacon he got up and
begun rubbing his shins
-'cause he
didn't see the joke on't.
"'You don't orter laugh; it's no
laughing matter it's a solemn thing,'
says he. 3jTftn'gb,t have been sent in
to eternity by tho darned critter,'
says he.
"Then they all roared and haw haw
ed the more to soo the deacon dancin'
round with his little shiny head so
smooth a fly would trip up on't.
"I believe, my soul, you'd laugh to
see me In my grave," says he.
"Wal, the truth on't was, 'twas
jist one of them bustln' up times that
natur has, when tiiero ain't nothin'
but to give in ; 'twas jist like the ice
breakin' upon the Charles river, it all
come at once and 110 whoa to't. Sun
day or no Sunday, sin or no sin, the
most on 'em laughed till they cried,
and couldn't help it.
"But the deacon he went home
feelin' pretty sore about it. Lem
Sadoc he picked up his wig and hand
ed it to him. Says ho, 'Old Dick was
playin' titliiu'-man. warn't he, dea
con ? Teach you to make allowance
for other other folks that get sleepy.'
"Then Mrs. Titkins she went over
to Aunt Jerusha Scran's and Aunt
Polly Hokun's, and they had a pot 'o
tea over it, and 'greed it was awful of
Purson Morrel to set sich an example,
and suthin' has got to bo done about
it. Miss Hokun said sho allers knew
that Parson Mbrrel hadn't no spiritu
ality, and riow it had broke out into
open sin, and led all the rest of 'em
into it; and Mrs. Titkins she said
sich a man warn't fit to preach ; and
Miss Hokun said sho couldn't never
hear him ag'in. And the next Sun
day the deacon and his wife they
hitched up and driv eight miles over
to Parson Lathrop's, aud took Aunt
Polly on the back seat.
"Wal, the thing growed and grow
ed, till it seemed as if there warn't
liothin' else talked about, -cause auiil
Polly and Mrs. Titkins and Jerusha
Scran they didn't do nothin' but talk
about it, and that set everybody else a
talkm'.
"Finallv it was 'greed they must
have a council to settle the hash. So
all the women they went to clioppiu
the mince, and makin' up pumpkin
pies and cranberry tarts, and bilin'
doughnuts, gittin' ready for the min
isters aud delegates 'cause councils
always eats powerful and they had
quite a stir, like a gineral trainin'.
The bosses they was hitched all up
and down the stalls, a-stompin' and a
switchin' their tails, uud all the wo
men was a-talkin,' and they had up
everybodv round for witnesses, aud
finally Parson Morrel he says:
"'Brethren, let me tell you the sto
ry just as it happened, and if you
don't every one of you laugh as hard
as I did, why, then I'll give it up.'
"The parson he was a master-hand
at settin' off a story, ana atore nea
done he got 'em all in sich a roar they
didn't know where to leave oil. Fi
nally they give sentence that there
hadn't no temptation took him but
onrh as is common to man : but they
advised him afterward allers to pray
with his eyes shut, and the parson he
confessed "he orter a done it, and
meant to do better in future, and so
they set'. led it.
"So, boys," said Sam, who always
drew a moral, "ye see it larns you you
must take care what you look at, if
you want to keep from laughin' in
meetin'."

A Social Serpent In n Lndy' ChanVbcr.
From the Ottawa (111.) Independent.
A few days ago, Mrs. L. R. Lewis,
of Aurora, formerly of Ottawa, met
with a terrible, and, to her, also a sad
adventure. They had recently re
moved into a somewhat dilapidated
frame house. Between the plastering
and the walls of one room there was
a vacant space, and a vacant space at
or near the ceiling of the room in one
corner. Near this, by a window, she
had hung her bird cage out of the
reach of the cat. She was in an ad
joining room, when she thought she
heard her bird utter a peculiar cry.
she came into this room, but seeing
no cat, and thinking she must have
been mistaken, went back. Scarcely
had she done so when the strange cry
was repeated, tone returned, and on
looking up to the cage was almost pet
rified with horror on seeing a large
snake in the cage and partly coiled
around it on the outside. She ran
away screamiug with fright and a
gentleman passing was called in. He
soon succeeded in capturing and kill
ing the reptile, which was found to be
a "house adder," a snako whose bite
is deadly, we are told. It was about
three feet long: It had killed the
poor bird aud was in the act of swal
lowing it when the man arrived who
killed the horrid snake. It had
crawled up In the wall and thence out
of tho hole in tho plastering. It is
needless to say that as snakes usually
go in pairs, and as the other snake
comprising that pair has not been
killed, tho houso is now for rent.
Mr. Lewis tried to sleep there that
night, but sleep would not come.
Toward morning, in his restlessness,
he touched the bottom of his bare foot
against tho bedstead. He just got up
and howled "snakes, by John Rodg
ors!" He put on his boots and she
put on "hern," and they sat up the
remainder of the night watching for
snakes. Hunting snakes is the chief
amusement of Aurora people gnowa
days, and especially nights. They
tell us of a man who was asleep, and
so was his fair partner, who has
sharp too nails. She dreamed she
was kicking the cat out of the pantry,
and she digged her toe nails into tho
calf of her man's leg. He woke up
and cried "suake3," "burglars," "po
lico," and all that. She got up, too,
in quite a hurry, and that bed was
searched through and through about
23 times, but the snake wasn't found.
Another man woke up one night, and
by the pale light of the moon saw his
wife's switch coiled around one of the
ornamental posts at the foot of the
bed. It looked for all tho world like
a snake. There was its great big sli
my coils, and it3 head pointed toward
the head of the bed, as if the snake
was preparing for an attack on the
party of the first part, his wife aud
their heirs aud assigns. Tho party of
the first part waked up his wife, and
she, of course, screamed and kicked
and, jumping out of bed, ran into an
other room to faint, leaving him all
alone with tho bloody-minded, ven
omously disposed sarpieut. He was
now in a lively state of cold perspira
tion, but his presence of mind had
not entirely deserted him. He slow
ly drew up his feet and jumped out of
bed aud ran to the kitchen and got
his double-barreled shot-gun and cau
tiously came back. He came in sight
of the serpentino intruder, and tak
ing as deliberate aim as his quaking
knees and trembling frame would
permit, blazed away. The sound of
the gun aroused the lady from her
third swoon. They advanced upon
the enemy with a light. The enemy
was found in a limp state dangling by
the bed-post, aud evidently dead. On
Hearing it, imagino his feeliugs when
she exclaimed, "Law sakes, what
have you done? Spiled my best mo
hair switch!" The shot holes iu the
bedstead can bo filled up with putty
aud it revarnished. He can get a
new mirror for seven dollars. Tho
old torn cat sitting on tho fence out
side iu range with tho window will
never squall at tho moon as ho was
wont to do. He has lost his voice at
least that's where most of the shot
took effect.
Tim Hlgglni.' Honeymoon.
Seems to me things have changed
somewhat! Seems to me so bust me
if it don't! I've been married near
six months now, and, the fact ie, Su
san nbow the least bit more temper
than I thought sho had ; iu fact, to
speak the right down truth, she's
knocked things about generally for
the last two months. She slung the
cat through the window by the tail,
and wouid have thrown me out by
tho heels, if I hadn't walked out in
a fast run. Sho's got as cross as four
sticks, and says she'll use a half doz
en sticks on my back if don't quit
sinokinir in the house. And she
threatened to throw a boot-jack down
my throat last night because I spit in
the fire. Ii she had done tliat 1 sup
pose I'd have had the colic or boot

Here is what the New York Tribune.
said of Senator Trumbull on the 14,tli
of May, 1MB:
Senator Trumbull never gave hfo
Republican colleagues a hint of hl
hostility to impeachment up to. $ha
moment of unmasking on Monday of'
this week, though he very recently
attended meetings of theso colleague'
of a friendly and confidential charap
ter. We are assured that his Pernor
cratic son had quietly made beta
through third parties, by which ho
expects to win $5,000 by his father's
resistance to impeachment. The Re
publican party protests agaipst these
shots from behind. True, it lost its
beloved President by such an onsj
but Wilkes Booth never pretpnded to
be a Republican, as its present as
sailants have done. If there be more.
